Troubleshooting Nail Lifting: Tips for Longer-Lasting Manicures


Question
QUESTION: Hi Silvia,
I am a regular stylist, and would like to do more nails to expand my business. I have been to training and will I do like Nail extentions on woman. I think they look very nice and classy.I have been doing them to individuals that do them once and come back several months later. In other words, No regular clients, so I cant get the practice that I need.
Anywho, The nails that I put are smashing but, they lift after 1 or two weeks, how can i make them last like the ones the asians do?
Also when i do clear ones the nail comes out very nice but when i do pink and whites the nail aways looks like a fan. They are not coming our parallel to each other.
did that make sense?

ANSWER: Dear David,

If the nails are lifting after 1 week than there is something wrong with the preperation. NO manicure before acrylic / gel , push back the cuticle and remove dead skin, clean the nail by filing, use the dehydrator and primer. Primer just a little bit but the whole nail. If you apply the acrylic then press it on the nail plate and stay away from the cuticle. Don't put acrylic on the cuticle. And of course use a good brand. Your next question i don't understand very well, please explane me again.

QUESTION: the thing is that I dont know how to make the sides strait. they come out sort of like a "V" instead of a "U"
I use supernail, absolute and premium.
are any of these good brands?
I need a brand that wont lift

Answer
Hi David,

Supernail is an excellent brand which we carry here in Thailand too besides EzFlow and IBD. Please file as follows:
always keep your file straight in line with the finger with the sideline of the file directly facing you. This way you will create the U shape rather than the V.
